Finishing Touches

You will be sick of the sight of this cross stitch...but I love it and can't wait to have it framed and hanging in our home. I think it is a reminder of the ways in which we should be living our lives!

Anyway, I really didn't like the look of the charms when they came with the patterns. But they kept tormenting me everytime I looked at them - should I attach them or shouldn't I? I thought I had decided that I shouldn't!

Looking for something quick to do this morning to fulfil my creative urges I decided I should! And I am glad I did. They look really lovely.

What do you think?

After 3 years...

it is finally done....and I love it!

Now to take it to be framed, then into storage until it can be hung somewhere in the "new house".

Progress Report

Some time ago, Miss Zoe and I took a trip to Spotlight together. She spied this Dora panel and begged me to make a "snuggle quilt" for her. I tried to persuade her that we could make a different (and nicer!!) snuggle quilt for her, but she insisted. I sandwiched and did some stictch in the ditch quilting on it a while ago..and then got the guilts that I hadn't made it for her when it was a task that would take so little time! Over the past few nights I have done some hand quilting around it and last night I finished it! Ta da....awful huh!!

I also decided that as I am pretty close to completing this cross stitch that I just love that I may as well just get on with it and finish so it can be framed and hung on the wall...just three more words to go!

WIP's are go to be completed, I am sick if having them hanging around!
